The Physics of Emergence: Introduction to Condensed Matter Specialization

Understand the Emergence of Complex Phenomena. This specialization introduces the extensive wisdom physicists have developed regarding how to understand the emergence of complex behaviors in interacting systems with many constituent parts.
What you'll learn:
- Define a phase of matter.
- Identify phases of matter using notions of symmetry, topology and renormalization.
- Apply ideas from condensed matter physics to understand complex phenomena in the natural world.
- Explain key open frontiers for condensed matter physics.

Modern Topics in Condensed Matter Physics (Coursera)
This course will begin by discussing superconductivity - a central example of a macroscopic phenomenon. It will then proceed to discuss various modern topics in quantum condensed matter physics, including fractionalization, anyon statistics, topology, and non-equilibrium phases. The course aims to provide learners with an appreciation for some modern [...]

Universal Theories (Coursera)
This course introduces the notion of universality, whereby a large zoo of seemingly disparate systems can be described by the same theory. It introduces a powerful and widely applicable concept known as renormalization group which explains where this universality comes from. It introduces some paradigmatic frameworks underpinning condensed matter [...]

Phases of Matter: Solid, Liquid, Gas and Beyond (Coursera)
Complex systems can exhibit emergent phenomena, wherein the interplay of simple underlying rules governing the constituent parts leads to rich and unexpected behavior of the whole. Condensed matter physics is the branch of physics devoted to understanding such emergence in physical systems. It is the largest subfield of physics, [...]
